She pulls hard n lights up in 2nd under load!
Now as I come off the throttle n drop it down a gear for roundabout etc he bangs a few times really loud!!!
Is this normal?
Hi, of course its not normal mate, far from it!
So to summarise - this garage has:- Fitted a new performance camshaft
- Advanced your ignition timing
- Turned up your boost
But cant advise why it now runs terrible?
I assumed they fitted wideband fuel monitoring equipment and checked the AFR is safe after all that performance enhancement work?
